05/27/2020 Wednesday Safe-At-Home (64) Monk Seal Dailies

Aloha good people, I hope you are all safe and doing well.
I hate to start the blog with bad news, and these days it just seems to come up a little too often.
Kauia Seals reported the loss of  RKA6 who was Pohaku's 2018 pup.  It hurts to lose any of them, it touches our hearts when we watch a generation of seals going before they have a chance to contribute to the species.

Back to our daily sightings here on Oahu. 
Team Billand found R3CX Nalu on the west side alone on the rocks snoozing. He slept the entire time they were there and on their next visit in the same spot.

Their next find was RG28 Lefty who was alone today resting. He's looking pretty green these days.

Team Billand did not make it out to either pup site today, and Barbara mentioned how difficult it was after Nanea's death to think about getting involved with another pup again. But of course they have been out to both sites and after watching them with their irresistible faces and playfulness how can you not fall in love all over again.  It truly feeds ones soul.

BTW I heard from a reliable source today the Nohea is giving the volunteers a run for their money. She insist on changing locations which requires them to change the parameter.  Little rascal doesn't want anybody getting too comfortable.
